Results would be different if the outputs generated by the previous analysis were not removed #2

If the outputs generated by the previous analysis exist in the paths defined in the parameters.in (or not defined so that the default paths are used), the following analysis would generate unexpected results.

Although the root cause of this issue is still being investigated, Hercules now removes all files in the source output folder that were created by Hercules (force_process.* and sourcedescription.out) before creating any source-related files, which should be enough to solve this problem entirely.

All versions starting from ab6d296 should be free from this issue.

The files in the source output folder (force_process.* and sourcedescription.out) might no be the problem that makes the result different. It's still more likely a topography or damping issue. Check #1
